SynthWave ’84 – VS Code theme

Love the 80’s as much as James Halliday? Want to relive the 80’s spirit every time you open your code editor? Now you can, with the Synthwave ’84 VS Code theme by Robb Owen.

This colour scheme is influenced by the music and the cover artwork of modern Synthwave bands like FM-84, Timecop 1983 and The Midnight. By association, that means I’ve also taken heavy influence from the excellent retro-tinged artwork of James White.

As you can see from the screenshot, it’s a very unique theme and pretty sweet color pallet. You can grab this theme from the VS Code Marketplace, just note the glow effect is considered experimental. Install this today, fire up the Kung Fury soundtrack, and get to coding!
